A CARDBOARD BOX FACTORY pays its suppliers 40 days after making the purchase and receiving the goods. The average collection period is 45 days, i.e. its customers settle their debt with the company in that time; and the average inventory age is based on the inventory turnover which is 10 times a year. The company spends about $1.23 million in operating cycle investments. With this data we need to calculate:
The operating cycle.The cash conversion cycle.The cash turnover.The minimum cash balance.You plan to make modifications to your policies so that you can decrease your PPC by 10 days, and decrease your EPI by 2 times (before converting it to days). Negotiations with your supplier have been unsuccessful and the payment term has been reduced by 10 days. With these data you have to calculate:
Re-calculate the Operating Cycle, the SCC, RC and SMC introducing the proposed changes.Calculate the opportunity cost that the changes will cause, if the company's interest rate is 8%.
